WEEPING MOTHERS.

"Man's inhumanity to man makes count
less millions mourn" "But the mercy of
COP is from everlasting to everlasting" and
extends to children's children, even to the
thousan1th generation. The inhuman cru
city of Herod caused the mothers of Bethle-
hem to weep for the slain of their children.
But there is
ga blessing for the eyes that weep.'
He whose appearance was the occasion of
the slaughter of Bethlehem's children hath
abolished death, and hath brought life and
Immortality to life through the Gospel;' in
whom GoD dwells among men; "who shall
wipe away every tear from their eyes; and
death shall be no more, neither shall there be
mourning nor crying" The Evangelist de-
clares that the weeping mothers of Bethlehem
fulfil Jeremiah's description of the sorrow in
Israel at the time of the Captivity. The
prophet represents the scene under the fig
ure of Rachel, the mother of the tribe in
whose territory the captives were assembled
for their journey out of their land, as risen
from the grave and bewailing the destruction
of her children, whom he comforts with the
assurance Lnat Gnere is nope 1Or the future,
for the people will be restored, "thy chill
dren shall come again" Jeremiah XXI. 10
10. Though many little Oh ldren had fallen
victims of Herod's murderous fear of rival,
the infant Messiah had not persisted, just as
the captivity did not really destroy Israel,
COPS chosen people, whom He had called to
be His son. And through him who is alive
forevermore" the weeping mothers of the
earth may be comforted by the hope that
their children who are dead, live with him
forever. blessed are they that mourn"
said JESUS, in view of the blessings of his
gospel, " for they shall be comforted." The
Christian mother mourns of necessity, but
with hope that will not disappoint. Her
love follows her beloved to heavenly scenes
and a meeting which shall never be riven. A
mothers hope in the gospel, whatever may
have been the misfortune or fault of her Off
spring, is as "an anchor to the soul, sure and
steadfast," because it takes hold of COPS
love and not of mans infrmity. The Gospel
declares the truth that "the dead are raised
incorruptible," and that call live unto GoD,"
and encourages
"The hope when days and years are past,
We all shall meet in heaven"

centre of the room was a long table with
the chairs around it for the members of
the Cabinet. When johnson came in he
had a partition put across what is now
the Cabinet room to his office, so he could
go into the private part of the house by
this corridor, without coming out to the
public reception room. The Cabinet
room was then used as an an.e-room, but
before his term expired lie moved the
Cabinet table and chairs into the room
now used, and also made that his Office.
General Grant, Mr.. Hayes and General
Garfield followed Johnson's example, all
using that room as an office and Cabinet
room. President Arthur was the first

Cabinet meetings, and put his private sec

he adopted Arthur style of Office regime.
The Cabinet furniture now in use was
bough, by General Grant. 1t was re-
upholstered during Hayes time, and has
not been touched since. In the centre of
the room is a long table with three
drawers on either side, and two at either
end. Around the table are eight chairs,
armless, and with high backs, and with a
U-shapcd top, this making q sort of
rest for the head if Cabinet officer

used by the President was revolving

he was a common waiter in Dclmonico's
restaurant. At that time, and long after
Delmonico's was the only really exquisite
eating house in town. There arc now n
dozen as favored, and several that are even
higher priced. Solari did the waiting in two
or three of the private supper-roofns TIP

scented the positive rule Of the house that no
doors be fastened and that the walters drop
in on every party at intervals Of not more
thnn five minutes. It wnsnt so much that
they were wicked rs that they dislike to be (
watched like school children. Solari Thought
it oil over and over, in his heavy Swiss way,
and he decided to open restaurant where
seclusion should be accorded 10 those who
desired TO dine or sup in private. He carried
out his scheme. Solari's thereafter occupied
Il unique position in fashionable regard. It
was not Il big establishment, but It's fare was
iirst-rate, and after once serving the meal as
ordered, the waiter entered the rooms again
only In response to the tap Of q bell. The
price OF this kindly inattcntion was added to
the regular charges, though not specifically,

THEY POOLED THEIR FORCES,

Roach, the Terror, and B1vci,s, the
Wealthy Traveller.
An amusing story comes to us from
the far West. For long time an outlaw
named Roach, the Terror, had been the
scourgc Of the mountain districts of
Idaho, and last month he waylaid and
proceeded to rob one Bivcns, a wealthy
gentleman who was. travelling through
the Territory on mining business. While
the two were thus cmploycd-thc one in
robbing and the other in being robbed
they suddenly became aware Of the ap-
proach Of a mountain lion, one of those
stealthy, cruel monsters that inhabit and
lay waste the Businesses of the Rocky
Mountain region. Roach Immediately
dropped his booty and skinned up tree
rs nimbly as ever he could; as for the
other man, he didn't stop to pick up his
propcrty-hc followed Roach up the tree
with marked alacrity. The fierce lion,
Haunting its tail savagely, licking its
hideous fangs, and rolling its CLASSY eye
balls suggcstively, looked tip at the two
men in the tree and prepared to join
them. eI
"Havc you pistol?" asked Roach, the
Terror. T
"No," said Bivens, the traveller, "but
in my belt carry knife fourteen inches
long"
Then" suggcsted'the Terror, sup
pose you stick the knife into that var
mint when he reaches out for u.s." fa.
ayes, but if leave the knife in the
lion," said Bivcns, ."and If he fails with
II, what protection have I against you
No, III keep the knife and let you shoot
the crittcr with that pistol"
Yes, but suppose l do shoot him."
said Roach, "what protection have I
against your knife when my pistol is
cmpty?"
Meanwhile the lion was coming up the
tree with alarming rapidly. lie seemed
to grow three feet every way rs he adj

unless we can come to n compromise"
said Roach, "the varmint will eat us both.
Lets agree to this: You stab him and
I'll shoot him-at any rate, either we
folks or that crittcr has got to dic!'
That's So" said Bivcns, "and I'll ac-
ccpt, the compromise
So when the lion got within range
Roach blazcd away at it and Bivcns
reached down and drove his knife clean
up to the hilt in the monsters breast.
The lion fell to the ground with n bullet
hole in his head and eleven inches of
steel in his lungs. Then Roach and
l3ivcns descended from the tree. They
had escaped so narrowly that they could
not be other than friends. Each was in
dcbted to the other for his life. They re-
solved not to separate, and now they are
engaged in the bandit business together
